Are you up to the challenge?
Gameplay
Necrolance is a single player, 2D platformer based off the style of a Gameboy Color game. In the game you play as both the protagonist and as the necromancer’s knight, Thorg. The protagonist’s campaign is more action based whereas Thorg’s campaign is slightly more puzzle based (only slightly). In the protagonist’s campaign, you are given a lance as your main weapon and can carry a secondary weapon. Secondary weapons are typically dropped by weapon wielding enemies that you defeat (either from mini-bosses or normal enemies). In addition to wielding different weapons, you can also buy upgrades throughout the game with currency that you collect through the levels.
